(That's the Lex speaking)

1. Do we? Or "Do you?" I should say, since we're a loose clumping of individuals innit.

2. GO ON THEN! What's the best hip-hop you've heard this year?

The whole Timbaland album is really surprisingly consistent and good, at least until he remembers that he's "into rock", but all that stuff is at the end.

I really like a lot of it- I listened to it loads on my way to and from work over the summer, along with the Diddy album; I actually really like the OneRepublic song, but yes, the rest of the 'omg u guyz, look, rock and hip-hop working together god knows what will happen next!!!111' bits can probably fvck right off.

'Scream' is absolutely ace, also 'Miscommunication,' 'Bounce' and 'Kill Yourself.' Other moments he seems to get a bit confused about what Timbaland brings to the Timbaland sound.

Oh, gosh, I really didn't like Shock Value at all. Found it pretty weak, tbh, although I did enjoy the FOB collaboration. That might not necessarily be because it's any good, though.

Well that's why it was surprising! Everyone was saying it was rub - I like its chilliness.
